Following a query from a German researcher I'd be grateful if anyone can
tell me about the dates of the various scientific name(s)of the Hooded
Plover/Dotterel. As far as I know these have been:
Charadrius cucullatus
Charadrius rubricollis
Thinornis rubricollis
>From my field guides etc. I guess they came from the RAOU check lists
(or equivalents) dated, respectively, 1926, 1975 (Condon -
non-passerines) and 1994 (Christides & Boles).
If this is right, can anyone explain the Slater 1989 edition (still
being reprinted in 1995) including the first of these names ?
I'd also like to know why the specific name was changed.
Replies to me please at
